Hi
I am expereincing very strange error in Messages. When I try to open the Preferences within the application it opens up isight. Camera is on. It does not go to preferences window.
Any ideas as to why this would be happening?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Do you have tabs across the top of your preferences? If so, what happens if you tap the "General" tab on the left?
Update: I should have asked it you have tabs across the resulting screen, whether it's called Preferences or not.
Ummm,
The Preferences of iChat or Messages can start up the camera you have if the Preferences were left on the Video and Audio pane. It takes the title of the pane.
If the Preferences window shows the Video and Audio pane it has a Preview of what the camera sees.
Under this is a green response bar for the audio (your In Audio).
It has drop downs for the Mic selection, the camera if you have two cameras, a BlueTooth headset option and the Bandwidth Limit.

I would point out that sberman's answer is essentially the same and was posted 2 hours ahead of mine.
